With the departure of Lou Lamoriello, the last shred of what we could call Devil's hockey has been torn off. I look at what this means for the franchises identity moving forward and toil towards coming to terms with the news and how to react.
Before anything else, I'd like to apologize to the readers if I am redundant at any point. When Shero was hired, John was all over it. When yesterday's new came in, Mike was on top of it and Gerard adjusted on-the-fly. Those who read religiously know that I was Joe Schmoe Devils fan just over a year ago before ILWT picked me up, and I couldn't let this story pass without giving my thoughts on it at least once.
